There have been reports of at least one of the stones being used to construct a bridge in Berwick St. James. Whether or not other stones have also found their way into the construction of more modern structures is anyone's guess. Alternatively, perhaps Stonehenge was never completed although personally, I'd like to think it was. It would seem an awful waste to go to so much effort to build as much as was built and to not have finished the job.
